Preparatory refactor for the shared-CFG dataflow migration.
Deprecates the AstNode.getAFlowNode() cached predicate on the public
Python QL API and rewrites all ~140 internal callers across lib/, src/,
test/, and tools/ from `expr.getAFlowNode() = cfgNode` to
`cfgNode.getNode() = expr`, using ControlFlowNode.getNode() which
already exists in Flow.qll.
The predicate itself is preserved (with a deprecation note pointing at
the new pattern) so external users do not experience churn — they can
migrate at their own pace and the AST/CFG hierarchies still get the
intended untangling once the deprecation eventually elapses.
Semantic noop verified by:
- All 361 lib/ + src/ queries compile clean.
- All 122 ControlFlow + PointsTo library-tests pass.
- All 64 dataflow library-tests pass.
- All 113 Variables/Exceptions/Expressions/Statements/Functions/Imports/
Security/CWE-798/ModificationOfParameterWithDefault query-tests pass.

Fixed 73 .ql query files where the @name metadata contained an ending period.
This ensures consistency with the CodeQL query metadata style guidelines.
Moves the existing points-to predicates to the newly added class
`ControlFlowNodeWithPointsTo` which resides in the `LegacyPointsTo`
module.
(Existing code that uses these predicates should import this module, and
references to `ControlFlowNode` should be changed to
`ControlFlowNodeWithPointsTo`.)
Also updates all existing points-to based code to do just this.
